The costs of living...
Setup a lease for our move out West. We pay, oh say $600USD for a 2-bedroom apartment in West Lafayette. In the California East bay area, we'll be paying $1800USD for the same thing.

If you're ever called a "Septic"
A friend of mine got me into watching a British TV show called Top Gear (really entertaining and sometimes informative car show). Anyways, I picked up another bit of Cockney rhyming slang that I'd not heard before. If you're an American, and a Brit calls you a "septic", it's their charming way of calling you a "yank" (rhymes wif "Septic Tank", guv). Supposedly derives from the belief that most of us Americans are "full of shit"....cute.
